Logan Stieber and Jordan Oliver could meet yet again, with an Olympic berth on the line
Four to six minutes.
It’s amazing that a lifetime of blood sweat and tears can come down to a small window of time, in which the best of the best need to execute the skills that they have built over a career. In most cases this will be their one shot to make the Olympic Team- the opportunity of a lifetime that athletes from Ohio and throughout the nation have been preparing for. What follows is a preview of what to expect this weekend in each weight class of the freestyle tournament.
The good news is that NBC’s online website will be carrying the entire tournament live this Saturday and Sunday (April 21st and 22nd), with six cameras going for the entire tournament (up to the final best of three series which will be online the next day) so you can watch exactly which matches you want to see, starting at 10:00 a.m. EST both days. For anyone who is not planning to tune in, I would re-think that. This is an opportunity to watch the best of the best without traveling across the country but from your very own home, including many of our own “legends” of Ohio wrestling. After several years of watching high-level matches, I absolutely cannot deny that rules have given rise to much more action-packed matches. Gone are the days in which a guy could coast out a one point lead for two periods, and in a system where one mistake doesn’t doom your chances, wrestlers seem more willing to take chances. In addition, with the push-out rule, aggressive wrestling tends to be rewarded and thus is more common. All in all, you can expect a weekend of high-intensity, high-octane wrestling from the best of the best.
